Fires often start small, but given the right conditions to thrive, a fire can quickly spread out of control, often in a matter of minutes. This can produce catastrophic and, ultimately, tragic results. That’s why if you discover an active fire, you must evaluate the situation quickly.
In the case of small, controlled fires, you can put it out yourself with a fire extinguisher, provided you know how to handle one. However, you should never underestimate the danger. If you’re not sure if you can contain it, prioritize your safety and call your local Fire Department immediately.
Fire Damage Restoration Service
Pride Cleaning & Restoration is a fire damage restoration company serving home and business owners in the greater St Louis area.
Fires can cause significant damage to buildings, homes and personal belongings, including furniture, electronics and other valuable items. The damage can range from minor smoke damage to complete destruction of property, making it challenging to assess the extent of the damage and determine what needs to be cleaned or replaced.
The fire damage restoration process can be incredibly complex. That’s because fires can damage properties in many different ways. After a fire, a property may be structurally unstable, and there may be hidden hazards, such as sharp debris or chemicals, requiring careful handling.
In addition, the toxic fumes, hot smoke and soot migrate to the cooler, upper areas of a structure. Smoke can flow through plumbing systems, using holes around pipes to go from floor to floor.
As construction materials, solvents, glues and other items in the structure break down, this may also produce some very toxic chemicals, posing serious health risks to individuals involved in the cleanup.
Finally, water from firefighting efforts can also seep into walls, floors and ceilings, leading to water damage, mold growth and other issues complicating the cleanup process.
At Pride Cleaning & Restoration, we have extensive experience in handling damage caused by the flames themselves, as well as the smoke, soot and other typical consequences of fire.
NOT ALL FIRE RESTORATION COMPANIES WERE CREATED EQUAL
With damage and consequences potentially so diverse, it’s important to have trained fire damage technicians present on-site as soon as possible.
However, not all fire restoration contractors are fully equipped for the job. The Pride Cleaning & Restoration technicians use state-of-the-art technology for fire restoration. We can detect and neutralize harmful chemicals and contain hazardous materials.

Once Pride Cleaning & Restoration steps in, we take charge, address your concerns and test to see which type of fire damage was caused by the smoke.
Wet smoke is most frequently caused by burning rubber or plastic. It is low heat, has a strong odor and is sticky. It leaves behind a thick and sticky residue, making smoke webs difficult to clean.
Dry smoke, typically caused by burning paper and wood, is fast burning at high temperatures and leaves behind powdery dry soot. It’s easier to clean but can fall easily into cracks and crevices, hiding from view and leaving a smell.
Black smoke rises quickly and is the result of burning plastic (electronics) and fabrics (furniture, clothes, curtains…). It clings to everything it comes into contact with, leaving a smudged residue.
Protein smoke, caused by cooking fires, is virtually invisible and very greasy. It has an extremely pungent odor and discolors paints and varnishes.
Tear gas, fingerprint powder, fuel oil soot, fire extinguisher residue etc.
ASSESSING YOUR PROPERTY FOR SMOKE DAMAGE
Once the type of smoke is known, the next step in evaluating property damage is to determine the following:
What can still be salvaged
What has to be replaced
The most efficient cleaning method
The pre-damage condition of the property
The extent of the total loss
Only once this has been completed can the fire damage restoration cost be known.
